[icedancedevotee]

The most interesting match-up, I think, will be Virtue/Moir annd Davis/White. At least I hope it will be!

It will take the home practice rink out into the public.

Let's just hope that Tessa's shins won't be to much of a bother here :indiff:

Dance
1/2. Davis/White and Virtue/Moir. No way am I trying to call this one. I could see Davis/White winning though because they've had all season to polish their dances, and they've really, really improved since last season. Virtue/Moir will come back to full strength hopefully at Worlds, but I don't think so here.
3. Navarro/Bommentre (I prefer them over both Samuelson/Bates and Crone/Poirier)
4/5. Samuelson/Bates and Crone/Poirier
6. Weaver/Poje

I wonder if the curse of PJ's predictions will continue.

Oh no, PJ... why did you have to...??
I'm afraid Chan has no chance now...

Has anyone ever mentioned to her that she is "cursing" the skaters with her predictions ?

[Joesitz (RIP)]

Reading all the above is like reading who I want to win and place.

Without reference to country

1. Two Ladies have the lock on gold and silver. Only a favorite can pick one to win,imo. The question is, can Joannie topple one or both of them? The American ladies will, hopefully, have clean skates and place 4th and 5th.

2. The Men is totally unpredictable. There are 3 National champions who must skate their best. All are looking good, imo, and there are others knocking at the door.

3. The Pairs will have a run-through here, and any results will be interesting if a pair team other than the two expected to place can be a challenge.

4. My views on Skate Dance, are that each judge already has the placements in his mind and will looks for errors to officially result in the placements.

btw, do you guys know if Yu-na or Mao are performing in different costumes? I guess I'll find out tomorrow but still...

 

[caaather]

Caroline needs someone to chase her around the rink, so she starts skating faster...:

I will be there, i might try to give her a push

that can reli work! lol

btw, do you guys know if Yu-na or Mao are performing in different costumes?

well I would hope they weren't wearing the same costume as each other.

Exactly. What if the Mao from TEB decides to show up, or the Yuna from the GPF? And Joannie hasn't had a single clean SP this season. Anything can happen at this point.

 

[Wrlmy]

Even if Mao from TEB and Yuna from GPF show up, Rachael would need pb to place ahead of them. Unfair? Maybe. She desperately needs two programs judges will appreciate. Joannie's average pcs went up whopping three points. Rachael can certainly do that.
